On This Date in Minnesota History: November 10

November 10, 1913 – Mrs. George E. Vincent, wife of President Vincent of the University of Minnesota, is hunting big game in the northern woods of the state today. Mrs. Vincent has taken out a hunting license and reached Beaver Bay today. Her party will travel 18 miles from this point to a logging camp that will be headquarters for the party until Saturday.

Mrs. Vincent will be aided in her hunt for moose by R. P. Essweinn of the agricultural college, who is said to be an expert guide. In the party also are two friends of Mr. Essweinn and their wives who live at Finland. Mrs. Vincent will return in time to see the Minnesota-Chicago football game Saturday.
